1. A constant shift between traditional class teaching, practical exercises and film production.
This offers you theoretical knowledge of film production as well as the chance to actually practice everything you learn in class. In terms of teaching, each course period consist of app. 25 teaching hours per week – and in terms of film production, our students produce more than 100 short films together during the programme.
2. The fact that students cannot pick a specific field of study, but are forced to dive into at least 3 different fields of filmmaking.
On one side, this allows our students to explore their true talent (maybe your talent is actually editing, and not directing?) – and on the other side, knowing more about other fields of filmmaking will make you better at your preferred field.
The directing course at EFC focuses on both dramaturgical, practical and formal aspects of cinematic storytelling from a director’s point of view.
In the directing course, you will learn about:
Researching and working with an idea and a story, imagination and practice: thinking of the film as its own idea and how it will meet the world, relationship between content and style in the film, working with actors – casting, rehearsal, and improvisation, collaboration with other filmmaking fields, the directors’ role in all elements of a film production chain, all the ‘nuts and bolts’ (mis en scène, blocking, floor plans, director’s breakdowns, production schedules and more).
